Blast from the Past, Or More Particularly, the Internet
In the old days, the Historical Society would receive maybe one "new" old item per month. Now that everything and everyone is only a mouse click away, there's a steady stream. There used to be one known document relating to Henry M. Newhall's railroad. Now there are two. A man in Florida was searching for information about a curious receipt he found inside an old German Bible he purchased; he found the one we had on SCVHistory.com and sent photos of his discovery.

Short story about the railroad: Henry opened it in 1864, sold it to the Southern Pacific in 1870, made a bunch of money, bought land up and down California including the western half of the Santa Clarita Valley, and his heirs formed the company that developed Valencia.

Even shorter story about quicksilver: It's mercury. It was used to separate gold and silver from the host rock.
